Thats what my friend said. We did the install the other night...took about 2 hours, and the first hour was figuring out how to do the first front spring. After we figured out the best way to do it, the rest was cake. Its amazing how easy taking off and putting on back springs are....I was thinking to myself....we must be doing something wrong, it cant really be this easy....hahahaha

Looks great man; I can't wait to do something about my 4x4 stance. I've been in your neck of the woods before this time of year; I've got family in a small town between you and Van Wert (no not Delphos; smaller Middle Point) too cold for us southern folk, and unfortunately for you y'all (sorry you guys) have about two more months of cold. Question for you: It's been since the late 90's since I've been up there; at the time I had a "90" 300ZX and my family up there told me not to bring it up because my car would get keyed or worse because it was a Nissan and Japanese. Were they full of it; if not since you're in a Nissan I guessing people up there have calmed down about it now?

I thought Chrysler had some kind of manufacturing plant in Van Wert too or at least they did. Yeah my grandfather used to call it Butt Wert; I don't know what he meant by it, but I do know that while my grandmother was shopping he would sit in the front of the store and scan the ladies. I guess if he was a butt man then he meant it as a complement.

Looks so much better than stock. I need to get on Michele's car ASAP. These springs aren't quite low enough for my taste though.
